Now that Christmas has passed, you may find yourself with a fair old tree on your hands and no idea what to do with it. 

Fortunately, St Ann's Hospice and Francis House Children's Hospice are organising collections in January 2025.

Anybody with a Stockport postcode can arrange for volunteers to pick up their tree, after which it will be recycled to make woodchip for parks. 

The deadline for registration is 23:59pm on 6 January, with the collections to be carried out from 9-12 January.

A donation of £20 is recommended - this in turn will support other charities across Stockport and Greater Manchester. 

Previous collections have raised tens of thousands of pounds, with thousands of trees collected.

You can find more information, and / or register your tree to be collected here.
